Coach Popovich, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili... Are they done?
I guess the real question is... Is it time to hit the restart button?
I guess the real question is... Is it time to hit the restart button?
It has seemed like forever since the San Antonio Spurs haven't made the Playoffs. Success is what San Antonio gives, and it's hard give up that success that the Spurs have had. But if I was the Spurs' General Manager, I'm tired of that strange atmosphere in the locker room, on the court, and at the press conferences. I'm not sure if the team feels it, but I do, and strongly.
Some people say the best relationship in the Spurs franchise is Timmy and Pop, but can that keep on going now? There's no disrespect in this report, or opinion as you can call it, but there's no father prime in this San Antonio basketball team unless you get Dwayne Wade. I think the biggest problem is if you're a rookie or a player who wants a new young team where the future is bright, the Spurs is not the place to go if you keep Popovich , Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker.
These fantastic three, as you could call them, aren't young and talented any more. The Spurs' Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge have rings to get, have titles to win, and most importantly, they need bright futures to look forward to. The Spurs Fantastic Three have slowed down quite a bit, and they've scored less. Does this have to do with age? I say yes, yes indeed. Even Tony Parker has taken a drop despite being only 34, and Tim Duncan now 40, and Ginobili 38, plus none of these guys are like Kobe Bryant or Dwayne Wade.
If Kevin Durant is going to the Spurs why not hit the restart button?You'd have KD, Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge and I would even try to get Russell Westbrook. And even if you don't get KD or Russell, I would still hit the restart button.
